Regional areas will be hit hardest by the price rises, as more fuel is required to transport goods further distances from metropolitan distribution centres.

"The cost of fuel and fertiliser is flowing through the supply chain, and we're going to see in metro areas probably a 2 or 3 per cent increase across the board," market analyst and director of Episode 3, Matt Dalgleish, said.

"We're seeing record prices for diesel, and that's what most of Australia's freight runs on.

"In regional areas it could get higher, maybe 10 per cent, depending on how remote the area is and how stretched the supply chain is."

I'm confused now, because I know you from other posts and I respect your knowledge and depth of thought/comments.

To comment on minor things before answering fully: no, I have not read about WMD. I'll do that now I guess. "bringing freedom" is definitely a non-valid argument indeed, especially if it comes from the US. I do agree with you that the Israel (or the US) have no "moral highground" even if there could be one - especially them actually.

My comment was mostly about building specifically nuclear bombs. I haven't made claims if it's close to completion or not - just that they are doing it. I'll research what you wrote before answering fully.

Sorry for assuming and for my attitude, I guess I'm in a bit of a media bubble and assumed it was still well-known worldwide. It's a large reason why the Iraq War faced huge counterprotests in my country. Long story short, a main part of the pretense for the Iraq War was the US saying that Iraq was building "Weapons of Mass Destruction". Before the invasion, the CIA told the US government that the gov's intel was not reliable, and the UN couldn't find any evidence of them since the disarmament in the 90s. [wikipedia]

The reason I mention that, is because this isn't the first time the US has used this pretense of weapons building to justify an invasion, and combined with the fact that Netanyahu has been claiming repeatedly for decades that Iran is close to completing them, the claim doesn't sound trustworthy.
